i gotta say, tos mercenary mission that act like daily quest board is really really not appealing
the reward. the no ui, well almost every aspect
but thats ok it means there is room for improvement
and this is my idea
- ADD UI
there is no UI for board mission, and thats too bad
UI will actually make board mission have some feeling to it
desc:
- progression is team based
- 10 missions provided each day, reset at 6 am
- there will be level clusters and each clusters have 10 missions slot which shared completion state
- character level can be varies therefore each character can attempt to complete mission slot in each level cluster if that slot is still available/not completed yet in another level cluster
- item reward in each mission slot is the same, but the silver amount, exp card level, and item amount increase according to level cluster
for example a quest slot in lv 100-200 rewards lv 8 exp card, 50000 silver and raid stone x 5 but in cluster lv 400++ it provides lv 14 exp card, 200000 silver and raid stone x10
- a map icon provided to locate mob location for fast token traveling
- upon completing 10/10 of missions, claim daily reward button will be unlocked to be claim
- MAKE THE REWARD APPEALING
the current reward for completing whether personal or even party mission is not appealing. how come i get rewarded by lv 5 exp card as lv 440? therefore rewarding needs some rework as well. for example cluster 100-100 will get rewarded by lv 8 exp card and 50000 silver, while level 400+ will get rewarded by lv 15 exp card, and 200000 silver.
also add in game resource as reward to attract players.
here are the list of item that i suggest to be added as mission reward:
- raid portal stone
- cm portal scroll
- cm reset (timed)
- megaphones
- soul crystal
- blessed shard
- assister album:Select
- assister exp tome
- exp tome
- seed
- statue
- dungeon multiplier token
- instance dungeon reset voucher
- portal scroll
- boruta seal frag
- nucle sack
- sierra sack
some items can have increased amount according to cluster, some others can have fixed amount due to its higher rarity or to manage the dailies amount we can get to prevent obsess reward for example boruta seal frag appear rarely as reward and fixed to 1 in each cluster
on top of it, there is daily reward which suppose to provide even more appealing items. as we all know that we love RNG so much i suggest to create loot box called mercenary post mysterious cube which can be used to receive 1 of following item by chance:
- arch fragment (ultra damn low )
- boruta common seal (another damn low )
- assister album
- exp X8 tome
- uphill multiplier token
- dimenstional collapse point multiplier token
- division singularity entry voucher
- division singularity multiplier token
- cm reset x 5 (non timed)
- blessed gem x2
at the very best, player can expect blessed gem as reward with highest drop rate much like 45 mercenary badge from kedoran merchant alliance box.
about reward tradability, i suggest to make all the rewards become untradable to prevent channeling reward.including blessed gems.
take notes, the reward here especially blessed gem must make sense in term of time vs reward. lets say it takes 20 minutes to complete all missions and in that timeframe someone can get around 3 million by doing 3 cm rotation. thats somewhat worth 3 blessed gem. therefore the worst case reward, in this case blessed gem, must be at an appealing amount. 3 is wow, 2 is fair, 1 is.. i dont think so.
as this is mercenary mission, i think it will be nice to add mecenary badge as reward. each mission in every cluster provide 250 mercenary badge and claiming daily reward provide another 2500 mercenary badge. (totals another 5k daily mercenary badge)
- DONT MAKE IT TOO TIME CONSUMING
some current daily mission require you to kill 150 mobs. thats just too much. people get terrified by the huge sum plus the fact that its repetitive. of course with CM or doing it in party this can be an easy task but thats not always be the case. most of times we do it as solo and in early level, killing huge sum of mobs that spawn rates really bad is super annoying.
therefore an adjustment of how much the amount of monster need to kill is needed.
i would say 30 is just the perfect amount, in every mission, in every cluster. choose mobs with good spawn rate as well. this is important to balance the time vs reward factor.
- ALIGN WITH ANOTHER GAME FEATURE
this feature also need to align with another game feature/event like:
- each event which provide event currency by content completion should reward event currency from completing mission
- provide burning weekend which boost mission and daily reward x2, or more
- provide title to make it more appealing like completing 1000 mission, 10000 missions and so on. provide mercenary costume as well
- [EXTRA] MOVE ALL THE NPCS BACK TO FEDIMIAN TAVERN
fedimian act like lv 100+ milestone which is perfect to introduce mercenary mission and the biggest reason is because fedimian tavern has the perfect vibe of mission board basecamp instead of current basecamp which makes rota and the gangs like some refugees.
